Looked in the Information Centre and noticed NO new autoexpire jobs have deleted any programs since the day I upgraded to 0.27 Then I saw this in the log: $ tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log Oct 4 21:06:06 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1430 (HandleAnnounce) MainServer::ANN Monitor Oct 4 21:06:06 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1432 (HandleAnnounce) adding: rem as a client (events: 1) Oct 4 21:10:02 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1430 (HandleAnnounce) MainServer::ANN Monitor Oct 4 21:10:02 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1432 (HandleAnnounce) adding: rem as a client (events: 0) Oct 4 21:14:34 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:860 (ProcessRequestWork) Reloading backend settings Oct 4 21:16:47 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: N Expire autoexpire.cpp:264 (CalcParams) AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 82.0 GB w/freq: 14 min Oct 4 21:16:48 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Oct 4 21:17:59 mythbackend: last message repeated 140 times Oct 4 21:20:02 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1430 (HandleAnnounce) MainServer::ANN Monitor Oct 4 21:20:02 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[19080]: I ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1432 (HandleAnnounce) adding: rem as a client (events: 0) -and confirmed thus: $ cat /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log|grep lounge Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 07:38:03 rem mythbackend[1879]: E CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:892 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom (it goes on like that for quite some time) Sep 20 23:23:48 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E ProcessRequest mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 23:24:31 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 23:35:54 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E ProcessRequest mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 23:38:31 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 20 23:53:31 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 21 00:08:31 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom Sep 21 00:24:31 rem mythbackend: mythbackend[13637]: E Expire mythcorecontext.cpp:906 (GetBackendServerIP) No address defined for host: loungeroom (and so on... skipping ahead...)

I have tried adding "loungeroom" as a hostname for the machine in /etc/hosts but that does not help... I am fast running out of hard drive space! (btw is there some command I need to run to manually clear the backlog of programs which need to be deleted?)
